w/c 25th

MAE ALL....thought I'd start this week's thread as it appears Mick is a little busy this morning.

Mick...hope all is ok and that everything works out regardless of what's going on.

TG...will have to agree you are a nice girl. Tree turkey dinners, don't know if I could do that. Thanks again for the congrats it's definitely a whole lot nicer going into work.

Lav...yes money can really make a difference when things get to this stage. We have a service call "Home Instead" here. Don't know what they charge but I would have liked to set something like that up for my MIL if a**hole ex hadn't moved back in. She definitely would have had a better quality of life than she did have.

Pauly...good to see you pop in. Hope everything is going ok in your world.

Not sure what today will bring. Do have to put all the furniture back after moving it out for a deep clean. Have a Super Sober Sunday all....PPQP

Re: w/c 25th

Hey diddly doodly ABerooos!

PPQ, lovely kick-start thank you, glad to hear things are looking up for the most part.

Mick, glad it's nothing super bad

Pauly, quick hi right back atchu!

celebrated our oink-fest last night and it was a hit. I was a busy bee but did enjoy the oinkout very much, we then played some silly board
games and spaced out for a while. Some folks had wine with dinner and it didn't phase me a bit thankfully.

to repent I went to the gym today for a great workout and sauna, so feeling nice and clean here

as my studies on the latest solid research on neurology have continued it's becoming increasingly clear I need to get my buttocks onto a modified ketogenic
diet for a real multitude of beneficial reasons. Shouldn't be much of a stretch for my dietary habits anyhow. Xmas dinner is going to be a challenge but
I'll figure it out.

Re: w/c 25th

Pauly, thinking of you as well. Reach out to us if you get to feeling stressed with your Mom, OK?

PQ, we also have Home Instead here. A friend of mine just interviewed with them thinking about picking up some part time hours. Something like that would be helpful but probably not enough even at this point. There's the whole house thing (cleaning), cooking & shopping, doctor visits, bill paying, & more. I called the widow this morning & she told me that she doesn't want to live with her son, oh boy. She wants to be around her own things & she's not likely to change easily at the age of 86
She has my phone number & knows that she can call me anytime. I just really hope she doesn't have a slip & fall accident or something while alone.

Det, glad you had a good feast. I feel bad for having a second feast today but it was unavoidable, ha ha!
I'll be treating the chickens to leftover mashed potatoes & stuffing - for sure!!! Too many carbs consumed these past few days, yuck.

Re: w/c 25th

Late night hello all-

Mick, sending good energy to you for whatever is going on.
Lav, whew, that's a lot of cooking! I know everyone must have had a good time. Good luck to your friend - does she have one of those alarm bracelets? Sounds like that would be ideal.
SK, goodness, that's dry - you might need a console humidifier? I just "fixed" mine, which seemed to think that it was always out of water, NOT. Goood luck with Misty - I've never heard of a cat with a bloody nose, but I guess...
Det, I'm with you in thinking that diet has a huge impact on our sobriety. Good luck with your questing.
PPQ, thanks for starting is up. And a deep clean? Wow, you are ambitious!
Sam and Pauly, hope all is well with you both.

I Finished up with our personal finances and my client billing. I find the billing much more complicated than doing the actual work! But I am finally getting myself to set up systems... finally...

I hope all are having good sleeps tonight, and will wake refreshed. Good energy for the week to come.

Re: w/c 25th

morning all...just a quick jump in to thank you for your wishes,yesterday was one real busy day ,and today is the same ,allI can say is thank fk I dont drink any more ..it would have been too easy to just get blasted and
a serious dose of ostrich syndrome...but thankfully I grew up (says he with a loft full of train sets!!)
take care all..and thanks

af since the fourth of July 2012...howzat then America..now proudly marching into year 5..done that one..now bimbling into year 6..tick ..done that one too..as he casually strolls into numero 7

CHILDHOOD IS LIKE BEING DRUNK.EVERYONE REMEMBERS WHAT YOU DID,EXCEPT YOU.

Re: w/c 25th

Mae everybody,Mick,hope whatever it is that's going on is sorted/mostly sorted((hugs)) don't worry about being a grown up with a train set,,my bedroom looks like a teenage girl lives here with hello kitty stuff,lots of pink,stuffed animals,etc but it's ok cuz I like it like that!its my lair Det,I keep trying to start keto,even Belon to a few online keto groups but damn I love my carbs! It is supposed to be a benefit for the brain in lots of ways tho,they even suggest and use it for children and peeps with epilepsy to control or stop seizures I've read,PQ,it'll be tacos for dinner,wanted to toss a pulled pork mix into the crock pot but my mom acted like I was trying to feed her barf so the pork will be for tomorrow haha,Lav,doesn't it feel great to finally have both Thanksgivings outta the way? Much love to all and wishes for a fabulous BF Monday!

Re: w/c 25th

morning all

Mick, ostrich syndrome, I have it without the booze so I can definitely relate! Hang in there friend.

hope everyone had a good weekend, those in the States, a long weekend. We got a heck of a lot of rain Saturday, about 4 in inches, it is incredible how much rain we've gotten this year, but dipstick in chief says no global anything, except money.

So Saturday, I went to a buddy's house who is a fiddler and builds banjos, I had a banjo that I wanted put a hide top on it. Basically, you stretch a skin over a rim and then put an outer rim over. It is amazing how plyable the hide is after soaking it.

Re: w/c 25th

Good evening folks,

Closing in on 7" of rain for the month, geez, enough!!!!
Looking forward to some sun tomorrow, hopefully.

Mick, we're here hoping everything works out OK, remember that

Cyn, I hear you on the client billing, ugh. Getting certain people to actually pay you is another headache
Made a turkey pot pie today with the last of the turkey, yay.
Today was opening day of deer hunting season so YB was busy driving his Amish customers & their deer to the local butcher. I know people actually eat venison but I just can't go there. I tried cooking it once back in 1973 & it stunk up my apartment for days. No Fanks!!!

Pauly, I would have sent your Mom to Burger King. A gracious guest doesn't do that.
I hope you had a good day anyway.

Sam, the mud is awful after all this rain. I guess it's better than snow, haha!
If you're looking for deer skins I think this local guy is going to have plenty. I imagine that hide changes the sound of your banjo??

Re: w/c 25th

MAE ALL...

TG...you wouldn't say that if you saw the state of my condo. I need Pi to show up and get everything organized. It was a deep clean only because the stack of dirt was so high. LOL Yay to the systems. I know they're a pain to get set up but so worth it in the long run.

Mick...thinking of you and sending positive vibes as well.

Pauly...I take it Mom won't be there tomorrow then. Well done on getting through the visit without AL. Hope you had a good day.

Sam..."dipstick in chief" Got to admit I love all the acronyms people come up with. I was going to say it could be worse but I don't know, maybe snow is better than rain. Is your brother still here? Did you get a chance to play some tunes?

Lav...I'm with you, no deer meat in this house. Know lots of people who have freezers full of it. So we haven't gotten anymore snow but with the warm daytime temps the slush and water pooling is everywhere and then it all freezes overnight. I can appreciate no mud though.

Shout out to Det, SK.

Raises came out today and I am very pleased with mine, the accountant on the other hand is not a happy camper. With her attitude she should consider herself lucky to still have a job. Keeping to my resolution to just concentrate on my work and ignore the rest of the crap going on. Makes for a stress free day. Have a great evening all....PPQP
